#92 Subtitle color, backwards?

[nikos]

Hi, once again.

I want to embed an .ass subtitles file in a video.

I set...
PrimaryColour
&H00ffff7f
and Avidemux shows, in the preview, a bluish color, instead of a yellowish colour.

Is Avidemux reading the hex values backwards?

See...
https://www.color-hex.com/color/ffff7f
https://www.color-hex.com/color/7fffff
or
https://www.color-hex.com/color/f7ffff

My system:
Avidemux 2.7.1
Mageia 6.1 , 64bit

After further search, it turns out .ass file format uses the values "backwards".

Quote from "ass-specs.doc" :

PrimaryColour. A long integer BGR (blue-green-red) value. ie. the byte order in the hexadecimal equivelent of this number is BBGGRR

Please, close this bug.
